at Ury Restaurant

Located right on Newcastle’s vibrant Quayside, just a stone’s throw away from Newcastle central train station and all of the city’s shops and bars, lies a diamond amidst the rough. Ury offers guests a unique Keralan dining experience, complete with excellent, friendly service and a banquet-load of authentic Indian cuisine.

The passionate owners of Ury aim to take you and your taste buds on a journey to the relaxing shores of Southern India with their use of fresh seafood, exotic spices, traditional cooking methods and the laid-back ambience of their restaurant. Since Kerala was once at the heart of India’s spice trade, Ury’s chefs keen to keep the region’s rich cultural and culinary heritage alive, and succeed with their distinctive flavours. What’s more, the chef’s use of locally sourced produce means that, just like in India, Ury’s dishes are organic and healthy.

For starters, try the Ury Rasam – a soup passed down through generations, which comes straight from the chef’s home kitchen in Kerala. With a blend of crab, fish, prawns, rice, coconut and spice, each mouthful of the soup is the embodiment of South India’s shores. There’s also the South Indian speciality of Medhu Vadai – soft, savoury doughnuts made with lentils, green chilli, onion and ginger, or Banana Pori – tiny ripe cooking bananas in rice and chickpea batter with black sesame seeds and peanut and ginger chutney.

Main courses range from the ever-popular chicken pal korma from Malabar – served the traditional way with appam, paratha and chapatti, to the distinct Konju Manga curry: made from king prawns, turmeric, chillies, coconut and green mangoes of all shapes, sizes and subtly different flavours. Seafood lovers will delight in the Crab Varuthathu from Alappuzha – the capital of Kerala – fresh, locally caught crab in turmeric and chilli, stir fried with Indian shallots, black pepper and curry leaves.

If you’re visiting Ury for lunch or a light snack, their selection of dosas: paper thin pancake specialities, made from fermented rice and filled with tasty additions, are superb, as are the desserts, which range from banana dosa, gulab jamuns, and pistachio, almond and mango flavourted kulfis.

So if you’re looking for a very memorable and different dining experience in the heart of Newcastle, Ury is unmissable.

Important note for reviewers

Based upon feedback from our members we have decided to implement a review facility on the tastecard website. This is a great opportunity for you to share your experiences, both good and bad, with other members. Please familiarise yourselves with the below rules for placing reviews:

Whilst we will not modify your review, we will monitor all reviews. As tastecard is a co-operative with our restaurants, if a restaurant objects to a review we will remove it. Whilst this gives the restaurants the opportunity to remove any negative reviews, we will make it very clear to them that a balance of reviews will be relied upon and trusted more by our members and likely lead to more bookings for the restaurants. It is a fine balancing act between publishing as many reviews as possible and losing popular restaurants as a result of negative reviews.

Reviews must be based on the diner’s experience, not second-hand information or hearsay

Reviews written by ownership or management posing as guests will not be accepted. Current or past employees or anyone associated or related to employees of an establishment listed on our site are not allowed to post reviews

Please refrain from using personally insulting language, attempting a smear campaign or posting content that is irrelevant and unhelpful to other members

Questions or comments directed to or about tastecard staff or other tastecard members will not be posted

Commercial e-mail addresses and contact information are not allowed in reviews, nor is promotional material of any kind

Important note for restaurateurs

Based upon feedback from our members we have decided to implement a review facility on the tastecard website. This is a great opportunity for members to share their experiences, both good and bad, with other members. We believe that this is also a fantastic opportunity for our restaurants to assess feedback, and if necessary make improvements and take feedback on-board.
Previously, if members wished to review a restaurant they were likely to visit another website to do so. This may have meant that the reviews were less accessible to yourselves, as restaurateurs, and thus you would have been less likely to act upon the review, be it good or bad. By offering the review service on our site we believe that restaurants will benefit from having feedback from our members in one place.

If you object to a review on our site, we will remove it. However, our research has indicated that members are far more likely to visit a restaurant if there are a number of balanced reviews than if all reviews are positive. Please bear this in mind when reading the reviews; if a restaurant only has great reviews then our members are far less likely to trust the reviews and thus are likely to dine elsewhere.
